I`m having problems binding my DX6 tx to a Spektrum AR610 rx. Any advice would be appreciated !!

It could be interference from a local WiFi system.Try switching off or get some distance from any WiFi / Bluetooth equipment.

Is the Rx correctly connected for binding?

I also believe that Spektrums don't bind very well unless the Tx and Rx are more than about six feet apart. I only ever had one Spektrum and I soon sold that, although they seem to be popular judging by the number I've seen.

Thanks Paul & Dave, I am able to bind the model boat with my DX5 tx; as to why I cannot bind the DX6, is a mystery !!

Eric,

If you have bound this particular combination of receiver and transmitter before then one possibility is that you have got the transmitter and receiver too close together as Dave mentions above. I had similar problems binding a DX5E transmitter and receiver a few months ago and there may be some information to help you in the thread here:- **LINK** As an aside I never did get a response from Spektrum to the questions I posed to their service dept in Germany.

On the other hand if this is a new combination for you it could be a compatibility issue between transmitter and receiver as Spektrum have changed their system standards several times and not all are compatible.

According to the AR610 receiver instructions this receiver is not compatible with a DX6 park flyer transmitter, I don't know why, its a mystery to me but its in black and white in their instructions so it must be true.

If the DX6 transmitter is a relatively new DSMX standard and imported into the EU after 1st January 2015 it will not be compatible with the old DSM 2 standard receivers (as I discovered by personal experience).

If you could advise us of the standard of your transmitter and receiver it might help with the diagnosis of your problem.

I`ve come to the conclusion that my tx & rx are not compatible.

Join the club. I had the same problem when I replaced a faulty DX5E transmitter with a new DX6i. Fortunately I still had a working DX5E transmitter and a big enough mixture of DSM2 and DSMX receivers that I could get everything working following a major receiver swapping and binding exercise.

Boy – am I glad I changed to Hitec.
Paul Freshney and I had similar communication problems with Horizon Hobbies (Spektrum) when I wanted some info about the Dx10T and permission to use their Internet photo – yet Paul is a happy Spektrum DX8 user. I guess it's all to do with their panic to comply with new EU regs. They made a bit of a Horlicks of it, didn't they?
